Apps, Tips and Tricks for Learning a New Language (The Fun Way)
We all know that flash of motivation you get when you feel inspired to learn a new language. Maybe you've seen a social media post and admired how beautifully someone speaks, or seen a clip on TV and reminded yourself that you should get around to learning that new language you've been meaning to start. There are so many different programs and resources out there that teach languages, but often they can be filled with topics and information that isn't really interesting or relevant to you, or perhaps you just really don't enjoy the style of learning they provide. When I was in my first year of university, I made it my goal to learn a new language, but in my own way. I was traumatised by two-hour long middle school classes where we were drilled with grammar and vocabulary in seemingly the most tedious ways possible, while I sat there wondering why I ever took that subject. When I made that goal in my first year of university, I wanted to learn a language at my own pace, in my own way, with topics I was interested in, and to slowly build my way up from there. I have just finished my degree at the end of last year, and although I'm not yet fluent, I am confident in my skills and have moved on to advanced topics and studies, working my way up to fluency, and for the most part, I did this all for free and on my own. Sounds too good to be true? Here's how I did it.
